After failing to find an attorney willing to take up Fulton County Fani Willis’ troubled 2020 election case, the prosecutor conducting the search for her replacement appointed himself.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia (PACGA) faced a Nov. 14 deadline to select a new attorney or have the case dismissed.
“The filing of this appointment reflects my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case,” PACGA Executive Director Peter Skanadlakis wrote. “Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment. Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.” (RELATED: Fani Willis Gets Fired From Trump Case For Good)
